About market, TAPE had a split personality today, Dow & S&P 500 making new all time high but Nasdaq slumping 100 plus points. Major damage to all strong technology stocks including FANG & Chinese stocks. GDP report and Fed beige book was market friendly, only Dow got the real benefit.AH Chinese Manufacturing PMI came in better than expected @ 51.8 vs expectations of 51.4, that should help sentiment for Thursday's trading.

About market, TAPE closed @ high of the day and made a new closing all time high in S&P 500, Dow & Nasdaq, all due to movement on tax reform by Senate. Nasdaq leaders were a bit sluggish today, while other stocks too off. Tax reform driven rally may have more legs. RSI just stepped into overbought territory, booking profit may not be a bad idea into any further strength.

Internals were negative despite Strong Black Friday sales and anticipation of strong sales for Cyber Monday. Hopefully before open on Tuesday, we will get an indication of how strong Monday's online sales were. Tax reform seems to be stuck in the mud for now, thus hesitation in equities.

Rally continues.....

Market is on a long uptrend with brief pullbacks and then on to new all time highs. This has been a sustained bull market, it is expected to continue this trend into 2018.

Many stocks are defying gravity, here is a list of few stocks with their RSI :

SQ           92.04

MRVL     91.92

OLED     84.43

AMZN    78.47

AVGO     71.12

AAPL      66.80

NTES      65.69

GOOG     65.04

SHOP      64.70

FB           64.52

BABA     63.64

Since this is an environment where strong is getting stronger, it is better to pick stocks which is showing relative strength.

Fundamental analysis is more important than technical analysis, as you can see, some stocks have crossed danger zone of  RSI 70 with great ease and staying higher.

This TAPE has been extremely strong and has surprised many including me, it is OK to look back and come up with a strategy which reflects current momentum.

I do not expect current momentum to fade anytime soon, it is a rotational TAPE, they are all taking turns, different stocks within a sector also join in rotation, means rotation within a sector.

SO...a new 52 wk list is a very good place to start looking @ and see what their fundamentals are saying and take it from there.

A new week is starting, and a rethink IF necessary is in order.

Good luck with your strategy!

Rally continues.....

Despite FBI probe getting too close for comfort, TAPE may discount this issue quickly. Tax reform is going through its usual back & forth between House & Senate before it gets resolved. Nothing which this TAPE cannot handle.

Nasdaq has made new all time highs already, S&P 500 and then Dow could do this in holiday shortened week.

Here is a quick look @ RSI to see my optimistic view :

XLE        42.78

RUT        54.42

S&P 500 55.24

Dow       55.38

TAN       60.20

Nasdaq   63.61

SOX       65.37

Above table is showing nothing is in 70 area , where pullbacks have occurred.

Russell 2000 is showing biggest opportunity to move UP.

S&P 500 and Dow is @ good entry level.

PE is expanding with growth in PE across the board.

New 52 wk high list is an interesting place to pick your winners, may sound aggressive, but TAPE is such that strong is getting stronger.

Any technology or small cap which is sporting an RSI of 50 is @ a very good entry point.

Black Friday, Cyber Monday favors many stocks, stay with those ideas.

Many stocks are defying logic like SQ & OLED...may need a much deserved rest, selling calls on those can improve your return and offer neutral effect IF it pulls back as expected.

SO..all set to make series of new all time highs in indices and many stocks, we may have lot to thank about some Thanksgiving dinner.

Good luck with your own comfort level & strategy.

Too many bulls ...flashing sell....

We are hitting extremes in bullish reading. which only means that pullback is inevitable.

Most of the other technical indicators are OK....

RUT or Russell 2000 is sitting slightly above 50 DMA, generally RUT is a lead indicator of stock market.

Most troubling remains the following ratio :

Bulls      64.4%

Bears     14.4%

Bulls @ 64.4 is @ top of its range before pullback, has happened every time when its this high, but they are saying  " it is different this time "

Time proves and disproves everything...thus we wait...

Many semiconductor stocks have pulled back from its highs, question is, is it time to buy or sign of  things to come......

NFLX RSI @ 45.87 is very attractive on paper, but is it saying something else in technical terms.....

BABA RSI @ 59.72 looks very attractive, it has topped Sales expectations for 1 day Sales....

FB RSI @ 56.62 is in the low side

JD RSI @ 55.79 looks good, it had good Sales also.

BIDU RSI @ 38.36 looks super cheap

TSLA RSI @ 33.10 looks like a bargain

AMD RSI @ 38.39 looks very attractive

CTRP RSI @ 26.53 trading @ lowest level in a while.

All of the above stocks are telling us that many stocks have pulled back from its recent highs, the question is, is it a bargain or going further down with the market.

Correction in stocks starts happening before overall market pulls back.

SO....we all play with odds, currently Bull Bear ratio is not very healthy, thus caution is warranted.

About market, TAPE was under severe selling pressure with Dow being as low as 250 points, all due to new details on Tax reforms, indices managed to trim some loss by close. Internals were negative. Some stocks survived this intense selling, news from NVDA is very good, which should help that sector of the market. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.
